Noticing Huangfu Kong and the others' movements, Zhang Shentong and his group had already begun to approach the second demon cave. When they turned around, they only saw a few fierce and menacing faces.
They look more like members of the demonic path than they do.
At this moment, Huangfu Kong finally demonstrated his strength once again!
"Boom!"
The powerful aura of incense emanating from him, along with a red glow, struck Zhang Shentong and the others opposite him.
Zhang Shentong's expression was gloomy, and the scales on his body exploded off.
Meanwhile, Long Lianxin and the others beside him suffered even greater losses, having sustained serious injuries.
Long Lianxin's eyes flickered.
"Huangfu Kong, what do you want to do? Wasn't this supposed to be a negotiation? What are you doing now?!"
Fear had already crept into his words.
Huangfu Kong laughed and shook his head, saying, "No need to continue acting. Don't you already know that Lin Jinglong went to your lair and started to destroy your den of evil?"
"you……"
Long Lianxin was already filled with fear.
He wanted to abandon his companions and escape from this place as quickly as possible, but Zhang Shentong suddenly stopped him.
"Why are you stopping me? Cover me!"
"Nonsense, of course I'll cover you. But have you thought about it? With our strengths, who should be protecting the Third Demon Cave?"
Zhang Shentong looked at him sternly.
Long Lianxin fell silent. His strength had been severely diminished, far inferior to his peak. To protect the Demon Cave, he naturally had to rely on Zhang Shentong, a powerhouse in his prime.
He gritted his teeth and looked at Huangfu Kong and the others.
"Alright, then I'll cover you. You go find Lin Ruchu and meet up. This time, you must kill Lin Jinglong!"
"clear."
Zhang Shentong laughed heartily.
He turned and continued rushing towards the second demon's lair.
Huangfu Kong and the others surrounded him, trying to stop him.
But a faint light covered Zhang Shentong's back, forming a barrier.
Within the barrier lies the second demon's lair.
Zhang Shentong's cold voice also came through.
"Don't push your luck. If anything happens to them, or if you continue to chase after us, then I will have to use all my strength."
"Huangfu Kong, don't forget, the reason why the demonic chaos in the Northern Region has not fully erupted is because we still have a use for the Demon Cave and are unwilling to fight to the death with you."
"But if we are driven into a corner, and once we awaken the will of the Heavenly Demon, the Demon Cave will erupt completely, and the entire Northern Region will be devastated!"
After saying that, he used the barrier as cover to break into the demon's den to rescue his good disciple Lin Ruchu and also to kill Lin Jinglong, who was causing trouble.
Tantai Yu and others accompanied Huangfu Kong.
They planned to deal with Long Lianxin and his group first.
However, Zhang Shentong's words before leaving still made them somewhat wary. Someone whispered to Huangfu Kong, "Elder, is what he said true? If the Heavenly Demon's will is awakened, the entire Northern Region will fall into chaos?"
“Of course it’s true, but… hasn’t Lin Jinglong, the only one among us who can pose a threat to the Heavenly Demon’s will, already started his operation ahead of time?”
Hearing what he said, the others felt somewhat relieved.
They had no doubt about Lin Jinglong's strength and even placed their hopes on him.
At this moment, Zhang Shentong placed his hopes on Lin Ruchu. He had heard about the turmoil that had occurred in the Third Demon Cave, and he could also sense that Lin Ruchu was also near the Third Demon Cave.
"Hopefully he can stop Lin Jinglong."
Zhang Shentong's eyes were incredibly resolute.
A murderous intent surged in his bloodshot eyes.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jinglong acted so decisively, without any intention of delaying, directly targeting their foundation and resources.
While traveling, he took out a black ink tablet.
This jade slip is like a key.
“If we open this jade slip, there will truly be no turning back. Completely awakening your monster will not be a good thing for us either.”
Zhang Shentong's expression was conflicted and pained.
The true awakening of the Heavenly Demon's will is also a desperate situation for them. After all, given the Heavenly Demon's will's modus operandi, it's only a matter of time before these useless people are transformed into mindless demonic beings.
While he was still on his way.
On the other side, Lin Jinglong had already absorbed the demonic energy from the Third Demon Cave, thus liberating the entire Shuibei City.
At the same time, his figure caught up with Lin Ruchu at lightning speed.
Lin Ruchu, who was injured in the first encounter, was terrified when he met Lin Jinglong.
"Don't come any closer!"
"Are you that afraid of me?"
Lin Jinglong's tone was quite amusing.
Not long ago, Lin Ruchu, who had mastered the Immortal Soul Devouring Array, was still arrogant and aloof, but after being taught a lesson by reality, his attitude changed significantly.
And now, he is filled with fear of himself.
But no matter how he felt about himself, Lin Jinglong would never let him go; the killing intent in his eyes was incredibly intense.
Lin Ruchu turned her head in shock.
He discovered that Lin Jinglong was more like a demon than he was!
In his shock, he turned around and threw a punch, which, imbued with boundless demonic energy, repelled Lin Jinglong for a moment in the passage.
But Lin Jinglong was like a maggot clinging to a bone.
Wielding the Heavenly Demon Sword, he charged forward at top speed.
He was left with too many wounds.
Sikong Tang, who was following Lin Jinglong from behind, looked helpless.
"Your swordsmanship is too poor. You don't know how to use this Heavenly Demon Sword at all. Your Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique is not truly mastered either."
"All you're good at is talking."
Lin Jinglong glanced at Sikong Tang, who was standing to the side.
I wonder who was trembling with fear because of the demonic will they had tamed.
Sikong Tang's expression froze.
He snorted coldly, shook his head, and said, "Then watch how I mobilize these demonic energies."
Although he lost the approval of the Heavenly Demon's will, his understanding of the Heavenly Demon's origin far surpassed that of others, coupled with the powerful strength of the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Technique.
He actually extracted the demonic energy from Lin Ruchu's body.
This greatly reduced his speed, and even his demonic body was almost destroyed.
At this point, Lin Jinglong was also surprised.
How did you do that?
"No one in this world can compare with me in terms of control over primal power, especially the primal power of the Heavenly Demon."
Sikong Tang said with a smug look on his face.
This was also the closest Lin Jinglong ever came to killing Lin Ruchu. After his opponent was weakened, he appeared in front of Lin Ruchu.
As Sikongtang had previously instructed.
He struck Lin Ruchu's forehead with his palm.
At the same time, sword light burst forth from between his palms!
"boom!"
Just before Lin Ruchu died, at the critical moment, Zhang Shentong finally arrived and took the fatal blow for her, which made his own injuries even more serious.
